##Pashinyan about the Nagorno Karabakh negotiation process and the "diplomatic disaster" of 2016:

Throughout the negotiation process, NK has never been viewed as a territory where only Armenians would live. The issue of the Azeri population has been part of the negotiations.

The referendum was never going to be held according to our liking, but even if it were, NK's Azeri population would also take part. Now the question is, would the Azeris of NK, in their turn, be allowed to [break away from NK via a similar process]. What would happen if that question was raised? These are not abstract questions. It's based on the nuances of what was on the negotiation table, which has never been discussed in public.

Today we hear voices, thoughts, and cherrypicked sentences that, in fact, have nothing to do with the package of negotiations that we had as of 2018.

 

3 packages were offered in 2016, and for the first time since 2011, NK's interim status was not part of it. Sure, NK would have a legislature, judiciary, etc. But no one is mentioning that the issue of clarifying NK's interim status, according to that negotiation logic, was transferred to the UN Security Council. What is the problem with that?

Throughout the entire negotiation process, Armenia attempted to keep the final resolution within the OSCE Minsk Group framework. In 2016 the parameters to solve the issue were transferred to the UN Security Council.

Pay attention to Levon Ter-Petrosyan's 2017 interview to H1. He mentions that the international community will decide NK's status.

[What decision would the UN Security Council make?] The question is, part of which country will NK remain before its final status is resolved? When it's the UN Security Council handling it, the outcome is very predictable, because in 1993 they adopted a resolution stating that NK is part of Azerbaijan and that they recognize Azerbaijan's territorial integrity.

This is the 2016 disaster. Under this logic, NK's final resolution must be handled per the Azerbaijani constitution.

Reporter: NK has never been part of independent Azerbaijan. Are you saying the UN Security Council accepts NK as part of Azerbaijan?

Pashinyan: Yes. The documents are open for everyone to read.

Reporter: what happened between 2016-2018, and after 2018?

Pashinyan: Serj Sargsyan revealed that the negotiation process didn't inspir

As you all know, Atatürk is a very important person, not just for Turkish people. For example, I love and respect him very much. I have 2 questions:

1. I've heard a few theories about Atatürk's cause of death. The first is health problems caused by alcohol, cigarette etc. consumption. The second is poisoning by doctors over the years. I wanted to get the truth from you.

2. My second question. I think Atatürk died at a young age (not even 60) Would Turkey have entered the war if he had been at the head of the country in WW II? Allied or alone? When I tried to think from his point of view, it seemed to me that he would remain neutral just like İnönü, It was the most logical one anyway. What are you thinking? What would Turkey have been like if Atatürk had lived another 10 years?

Edit: İnönü, Atatürk

From the Wikipedia article:

“Next, Galyaviev moved to different classrooms, which were closed due to the radio announcement, and shot at people in the halls, killing a teacher. He also attempted to shoot a student, but the firearm had run out of ammunition so instead he decided to melee the student.”

I know the article is probably misleading but this confuses me. I cant find any info on the “melee” on the student happening, is this true?
